Life is interconnected and so are the topics on this blog. It might be cooking and gardening one day, yoga the next, knitting and sewing, or hiking and then bird watching followed by recycling or composting. They are the parts that bring humble joy to my life of voluntary simplicity in Montana.

Places To Start A Simpler Life

It can be overwhelming to think about adding more to an already busy life. It may sound good to bake your own bread, but where do you find the time? Where does a person start when wanting to slow down, simplify, and reconnect with the rhythms of our earth and our ancestors?

Below are a few ideas that I think would be good places to start such explorations, based on my own personal experiences going down this path. In the end, knitting or baking may not be for you, but you might find that you've got quite the knack for composting or cooking that you didn't know about before. You might add one green cleaner to your repertoire. One step after the other. That is all it is. Honest and truly. Its not about making huge leaps. Its about learning and growing one step at a time until suddenly its amazing how far you've come. Its about finding the quiet, satisfying joys so often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of our overly "convenient" modern world. It all starts with the first step.
